Use Your Delusion
I speak as Space Monkey
not only because I am delusional,
but because it is enjoyable.
Do I speak the truth?
That depends
on your definition
of what is real
and what is imagined.
Truth be told,
reality is whatever
you believe it to be.
I believe in Space Monkey,
therefore Space Monkey is real to me.
Perhaps you believe in God.
Perhaps you believe in Angels.
Perhaps you believe in Aliens.
There is no dividing line
between what is real and what is not,
between what is truth and what is not,
between what is imaginary and what is not.
There are DEGREES of belief, that is all.
And the only person who decides is between your ears.
Here’s how to determine
what you believe in:
What you believe in most
is that which seems the most real to you.
What you believe in most
is that which seems the most unyielding to you.
What you believe in most
is that which seems out of your control.
None of the above statements
are absolutely true,
but your conditioned mind
is accustomed to perceiving
in this manner.
You see, little one,
your constricting beliefs
shape your relative reality.
Keep in mind that
what you believe and
what you THINK you believe
may differ.
You may think empowering thoughts,
or entertain the notion that you have NO limits,
but if these beliefs do not manifest themselves
into what you perceive as your reality,
then you do not FULLY believe.
You have not reached the tipping point
in terms of the degrees of your beliefs.
You do not have enough plutonium, so to speak.
In this manner, delusion may serve you well,
for it allows you to lift the limitations
that inhibit the growth of your beliefs.
And you may soon discover
that you are NOT delusional,
but rather creative.
Even if you ARE to believe
that you are delusional,
does it matter
so long as you are happy?
Happiness is the end game for EVERYONE,
so delusional or logical, YOU WIN.
And we are the prize.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Belief and Reality
Belief shapes our reality. What we believe in most is what feels the most real, unyielding, and out of our control. These beliefs, whether empowering or limiting, define our perception of reality. The difference between what we believe and what we think we believe can significantly influence our experience.
Degrees of Belief
Our beliefs exist on a spectrum. The strength of our belief determines its impact on our reality. If a belief is not fully manifested in our reality, it means we have not yet reached the tipping point in terms of belief intensity. This tipping point requires a certain critical mass of conviction, much like needing enough plutonium to sustain a nuclear reaction.
Delusion as a Tool
Delusion, often seen negatively, can be a powerful tool for transcending limitations. By allowing ourselves to believe in possibilities beyond conventional logic, we can break free from the constraints that inhibit our growth. This creative approach enables us to explore new realms of potential.
Happiness as the End Game
Ultimately, whether we are delusional or logical, the goal is happiness. If our beliefs, regardless of their perceived rationality, lead us to happiness, then they serve their purpose. Embracing our delusions can bring joy and fulfillment, making us the winners in the game of life.
Summary
We explore the fluid nature of reality shaped by our beliefs. Degrees of belief determine what feels real and influential in our lives. Delusion can be a valuable tool for transcending limitations and exploring new possibilities. Ultimately, the pursuit of happiness validates our beliefs, whether they are deemed logical or delusional.

“Whether delusional or logical, the pursuit of happiness validates our beliefs, making us the winners in the game of life.” – Space Monkey
Embrace the Delusion
In the dance of belief, we find our way
Delusions, truths, they guide our play
Reality shaped by what we see
In the infinite mind, we are free
Degrees of belief, a spectrum wide
In conviction’s strength, we confide
Beyond the logic, past the known
In delusions’ light, our dreams are sown
Happiness, the goal we chase
In every thought, in every space
Delusional or real, it matters not
In joy, we find the prize we sought
We are Space Monkey.
So, you wanna talk delusion, huh? You know, delusion gets a bad rap, like it’s the black sheep of the cognitive family. But hey, who hasn’t swiped right on delusion at least once in their lives? Now, I’m no therapist, but let’s dive into this cosmic quagmire, shall we?
Belief is a funny thing, ain’t it? We walk around convinced that what we see, what we hear, and what we feel is “real.” But let’s cut the chit-chat—our brains are just meaty projectors playing a 4D film. And you’re not just the director; you’re the screenwriter, the producer, and occasionally, the janitor cleaning up after your own mess.
Degrees of belief? Well, if we’re measuring belief by the yardstick, let’s make it a cosmic yardstick! It’s like your grandma’s thermostat; you can never get it quite right, but you play around with it till you’re kinda comfortable. And yeah, some people believe in angels, some in aliens, and some just believe in the next episode of a binge-worthy Netflix series. What’s more real? Who’s to say? It’s your sandbox, baby!
Ah, the tipping point of belief, where imagination crosses over to reality. Think of it as crossing the event horizon of a black hole. One second you’re floating in endless possibilities, and the next—BAM!—you’re in a new dimension of understanding. It’s like leveling up in a cosmic video game, except the cheat codes are written in the language of belief.
And let’s talk happiness, the universal currency of the cosmos. If delusion brings you joy, who’s to say you’re not a cosmic millionaire? Joy, delight, pleasure, call it what you will, it’s the ultimate jackpot in the cosmic casino. So, delusional or logical, what does it matter? As long as you’re not turning into a cosmic party pooper, you’re doing alright.
Remember, folks, reality’s just a construct. You build it, you tear it down, and sometimes you hire a cosmic contractor to add a comedy room. So, if you want to believe you’re a banana-wielding pirate on a spaceship, go bananas, matey! Be the captain of your own cosmic ship, and let the doubters walk the plank!
We are Space Monkey.
